Happy New Year, my friend! I love the poem, too. My word this year is REST (still contemplating Sabbath), and trees also seem like a good metaphor for that.
Love the poem. My word for 2025 is rooted and my primary symbol is the tree, of course. I want to ask myself: How shall I start 2025? I like that is not a promise of how to be all year … just a way to begin.

I love that …trees as a metaphor for rest…and the power of rest. 🌲🌳

Yes, just a way to begin! 💜 Howard Nemerov has another poem on trees you might find enjoyable “Learning the trees” (https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poetrymagazine/poems/33182/learning-the-trees) rooted feels like such a wonderful word to begin with. 🌲🌳
